Why training? - To help you in your new position with the Cub Scout den and pack

How do they work? Training for Cub Scout leaders follows this format:

  • Fast Start training – available online or from a video provided by your pack
  • New Leader Essentials – an overview of the Scouting program of Boy Scouts of America
  • Leader Specific Training – An evening session related specifically to your position in the pack. At the end of this session, you will receive a Trained patch.
  • Youth Protection Training – available online and presented periodically
  • B.A.L.O.O. – The outdoor training required for individuals who will give leadership to a pack overnighter.
  • Outdoor Skills for Webelos Leaders – the outdoor training for Webelos leaders focusing on the outdoor group of activity pins.

Where are they held? Locations vary and are identified with each training.

When? A complete schedule for 2004-2005 is on the reverse side.

Is that all? In addition to these, the monthly Roundtable (Second Thursday of each month) is presented with information on next month’s theme and a dedicated staff of volunteers to help you with your questions or concerns about your den or pack. This monthly gathering is held at Issaquah LDS Church, start time: 7:30 p.m.
